Chapter 20: Once the storm changes the dragon
It's like "Dream of Red Mansions", which seems to be a novel, but in fact it is an encyclopedia that records the history and culture of the feudal era of the Celestial Empire. If you want to understand the real history, it is better to watch "Dream of Red Mansions" than to read the 24th History.
The two talked like this, as if they had returned to their high school days, as if they had returned to the era of constant quarrels, extremely tranquil and extremely happy.
After talking about it for a long time, it came to the house.
"500,000, that's not a small number!" Xu Sidao: "I am now, my monthly salary is more than 10,000 yuan, I don't eat, drink, or consume, and I save up to more than 120,000 yuan a year; It will take at least four or five years to accumulate that number. If you count the cost of one month, it would be nice to save 5,000, but it will take at least ten years; If you get married in the future, your children will go to school, etc., the cost will be even greater, and it may take 20 or even 30 years! ”
"In Donghua, most of the people with a monthly income of around 10,000 yuan are middle-class, and many workers do not have such income. It will take another ten or even twenty years for such an income group to have this number. And now, you have 500,000, it's not easy! ”
"Ahem, it's just luck!" Li Qing smiled.
I can't help but think of Lilac, Miss Lilac is worthy of being the eldest lady, worthy of being a local tyrant, and does not treat money as money.
"It's not going to be a jackpot!" Lilac said with a smile.
"There will be no pie in the sky, only hail!" Li Qingdao: "This is what I worked hard to create and write, a song sold for 300,000 yuan, a book bought for 200,000 yuan, so there are 500,000 yuan." ”
"You're really good, you've become a writer!" Lilac's tone was sour, with envy and jealousy, "I worked hard for four or five years to earn 500,000; And you are just a song, a book, it is half a million, it is simply a money robbery, it is simply a bank robbery! ”
"You can't count it like this, you just saw my brilliant side, but you didn't see my sad side, I also hit the street for half a year in a row, before I took shit luck, met a local tyrant, and made so much money in one fell swoop!" Li Qing said bitterly: "In our industry, the market is special, it is called three years without opening accounts, and opening for three years!" ”
"You can't expect that every book is to make money, every book is extremely popular, there is a profit and a loss, and there is a hit on the street if there is a trend. This is a special case. The next book may be so-so, or even hit the street to the end! ”
As he spoke, he seemed to think of something depressing, Li Qing raised the paper cup and drank the boiled water.
Feeling the taste of boiled water, I want to feel safe, just thinking about it, where in the world is there a sense of security!
The last book, the last song, became popular and made a lot of money, but next, there may not be such a good market, and it may not be able to make money like this. The market is changeable, and it is extremely difficult to grasp the market.
"Norwegian Wood" has become popular and has made a lot of money, but "Marrying the Right Man in the Wrong Sedan Chair" may hit the street and pounce to the end.
In recent years, there have been too many phenomena of rushing to the end, and many famous artists are still like this, and he is a pink and tender newcomer, and it is normal to hit the street to the end.
Thinking about it, Li Qing felt that the writer industry was too insecure, like a cloud, flying above the nine skies; It may also be planted to the end, falling from a high altitude, falling into a pulp, and being extremely sad. If possible, he must change jobs, not for anything else, but because of a lack of security.
It's just that I changed jobs, and where I can go to, there are pits everywhere, either falling in this pit or falling into another pit.
Thinking about it, Li Qing felt extremely sad.
"Where is it as miserable as you say. People in the world have inertia, as long as the previous book is well written, they will read the next one, as long as that book is not too rubbish, not too bad, most people will buy it! Xu Si said, "Which book did you write?" ”
"Don't speak!" Li Qingdao, you can't say that you became a gunman and earned 200,000 yuan!
"It can't be fake!" Xu Si said, "What is the name of that song that sold 300,000 yuan?" ”
"Norwegian Forest!"
"There are five versions of the song "Norwegian Wood", and there happens to be a novel called "Norwegian Wood", which seems to be too coincidental!" Xu Si thought about it, looked at Li Qing, as if he wanted to discover something: "The book you wrote won't be called "Norwegian Forest"!" ”
"Ahem!" Li Qing coughed: "Don't say it!" ”
"You can't say it, it's true!" Xu Sidao: "No wonder before, it was rumored on the Internet that "Norwegian Wood" was not written by the beautiful writer Bai Jingjing, it may have been written by a gunman, but with Bai Jingjing's name. On the Internet, there has been a long, long quarrel, but all the time, there is no result! ”
"I didn't expect it to be true!" Xu Si said.
I thought of the rumors on the Internet, and the comments of book friends.
proposed that Bai Jingjing was a gunman, and was a book friend called "Millennium Bookworm". This book friend pointed out that the song and the novel are similar in style, and maybe the song and the novel were written by someone, but for some reason, they were sold to two companies, and there was a crash.
Secondly, "Norwegian Wood" is very different from Bai Jingjing's style in terms of writing style and penmanship, and there are too many differences.
As soon as this argument came out, Bai Jingjing had not yet fought back, and many of her fans shot out one after another, all kinds of posts, all kinds of mountain and sea offensives, and used various means to maintain Bai Jingjing's reputation and refute the gunman's argument.
There are those who are in favor and those who are against.
Immediately, the two sides continued to argue and scold, who is reasonable and who is right, I can't understand it for the time being, but with the debate, with the scolding of each other, the novel "Norwegian Wood" has become popular again, and the sales have increased again.
It's just that I didn't expect that today, in the old classmates, it was confirmed that everything was true.
The gunman incident is not hype, but a real event, and the real author is the old classmate in front of him.
Thinking of his old classmates again, he has 500,000 yuan in his pocket, proving that everything is true.
500,000 is not a small number, they grass people, want to get 500,000 yuan, it is extremely difficult, unless you buy a lottery ticket and win the jackpot, it is possible. With ordinary means, if you want to earn 500,000 yuan, there is almost no possibility.
However, if an old classmate succeeds in writing a book and selling a book, it is very likely that he will earn 500,000 yuan by relying on a song and the popularity of a book.
"**, once the wind and clouds change dragon!" Xu Si said, his tone was a little complicated: "This is a portrayal of your real life." Old classmate, I admire! ”
Thinking about it, the memories of the past appeared little by little, and when he was a teenager, Li Qing showed a good talent and had an excellent level in writing. It's just that I was trapped in the pond at that time, just a big carp, extremely lowly, and no one took a fancy to it, even the Chinese teacher thought it was average.
Now, with the economic crisis in Donghua, the wind and clouds that belong to him have arrived, and overnight, he rose into the sky and turned into a dragon, raising his eyebrows and smiling proudly in the world.
